OUR NOTES

Shorty Peak is one of the most popular lookouts on the Rental Program in Idaho for a very good reason, its got one of the best views of the Selkirks that you could ask for!

And we were lucky enough during our visit to have a bear grass bloom – it makes a gorgeous landscape even more beautiful.

Outdoor Idaho filmed at Shorty Peak for their ALMOST CANADA episode:
